Hardcore gamers tend to instead focus on game series that came directly from the medium itself like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Street Fighter. But it would be disingenuous of us to ignore the fact that one of the biggest game series of all time is the football giant of the video game world, the Madden NFL series....
Long time video game publisher THQ is currently going through some serious issues that are resulting in the company laying-off employees from several different branches including Austrailia and the closure of their office in Japan.

It’s no secret that dinosaurs have begun to make a comeback in the wake of such successes as Jurassic World and ARK: Survival Evolved. Yes, the extinct beasts have certainly pushed themselves into the public’s eye once more, so it seemed inevitable that more media related to the creatures would start to rear its head.

While much has been made about the dialogue options in Uncharted 4 ever since they were first unveiled back at PSX 2015, developer Naughty Dog has tempered expectations at every turn. Although the developer believes the dialogue choices will be important to player immersion, they also don’t want players to consider Uncharted 4 a dynamic experience. To put it more simply, Uncharted 4 will not be Mass Effect. Further clarification on Uncharted 4 and its dialogue choices comes from co-director Neil Druckmann, who took over for the project (along with Bruce Straley) after longtime series writer Amy Hennig departed the company....

This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex....
